I've heard that the level of public schools in Hawaii is among the lowest in the U.S. Is the public school system wiped out ？
Do you have any recommendations for those who currently have children in public schools ？
For private schools, Iolani and Punahou are well known, but the tuition from Kinder to I think it is a little too expensive to pay for more than 10 years of tuition from Kinder.

I was hoping to get your comments on collecting miles to use for award tickets between Hawaii and Japan.
I would like to hear about your favorite company, how you collect miles, etc. I myself am currently collecting miles with Delta Air Lines Amex Gold, but I am considering doing so after I have used up all my current miles on award tickets.
The reasons for this are
- Delta's Amex Gold annual fee will be $ 100 => $ 150 （ $10,000 spend bonus will increase to $ 100 => $ 200 and new hotel credit $ 100, which is not bad in general ）.
- I plan to use my BILT MasterCard to pay rent and accumulate points, but the airlines I can transfer points to are Hawaiian, United, and American Airline in the US.
- My destination is Nagoya, so I will be flying Delta to Haneda ＞ Shinkansen to Nagoya is a bit inconvenient in terms of time ・ and money. On the other hand, it is possible to fly to Nagoya with JAL/Hawaiian.

Based on the above 3 points, I think that if I were to migrate, it would be to Hawaiian ～ ？.
On the other hand, I may continue to use Delta, $ consider the 200 bonus as bullet train fare, or use BILT points as Hawaiian miles for Interisland flights.

With my current Delta card, I have been earning 12,000 - 15,000 miles per year for the last few years.
I think ？ the miles I get from purchases are roughly the same if I use the Hawaiian card as my main card.

Recent flights are
- Summer 2022 ： Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL
- Winter 2022 ： Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL, miles earned on Hawaiian
- Summer 2023 ： On JAL Purchased direct flight to Nagoya with JAL, mileage credited to Hawaiian
- Winter 2023 ： Awarded flight to Haneda with Delta
So, twice a year, I will return home by myself.
Seat is normal economy.

Note that the mileage requirement for a Delta Honolulu Haneda award ticket is roughly 94,000 - 104,0000 miles in Main Cabin economy.
The credit card award gives you 15% off the required miles, so it's actually 80,000 - 88,000 miles.

Of course, I understand that your destination, class of service, and usual mileage accrual are not the same, but
I would be happy to hear your opinions.

Hello, I am a high school student in the United States. I have heard that it is normal to obtain an F1 visa to study at a public high school in the U.S., but I have heard that the F1 visa only allows you to study for one year. However, I would like to know if it is possible to study in the U.S. with a visa other than an F1 visa, or if there is another way to study in the U.S.? I heard that it is possible to study in a private high school for more than one year, but the tuition fee is...

I get sick from the smell of marijuana.

I've never had a problem telling people this, but
lately my friends are giving me trouble.
All of them are American.

If you are over 30 and don't like marijuana, how do you deal with it ？

I thought about just making new friends, but I don't know where to go to make American friends who don't smoke pot.
I don't go to bars or nightclubs.

I heard that a marathon will be held in Shinagawa in November. It is interesting to run in the city.

I've heard it's getting worse, but I'm not sure how it really is ？
Is it dangerous to walk to work or walk during the day while wearing earphones ？
I think I live in the Waikiki, McCully, Ala Moana, Makiki area.

Nice to meet you. I will be relocating to Silicon Valley this year.
I will be bringing my high school child with me and would like to find a home in Santa Clara.
I have seen the levels and racial composition at Great Schools, but
do you know anything about the atmosphere and recommendations for Santa Clara High School ・ or Wilcox High School
?
Also, if you can recommend any other school districts, I would appreciate it.
My child would like a school that is not too high-level ・ and not too racially polarized.
Thank you very much ！
